Exercise for Cats
Cats need exercise too, and while it's possible to train a cat to walk with a cat harness and leash, at-home interactive play is the best way to keep your cat's mind and body engaged and resilient. A 15-minutes session once or twice a day is ideal.
To help your cat get the most from these interactive toys, the key is to "BE the prey." Use your imagination, and have fun! If you're a mouse, run, jump and hide; if you're a bird, flutter and dive. Always let your cat catch the prey in the end, and follow up with a high-protein treat such as canned food. This not only exercises your cat's physical side, but also satisfies the mental/emotional "hunter" part—an important consideration in multi-cat homes to prevent aggressive behavior. It's also a terrific way to help chubby kitties lose weight, as well as to prevent boredom and the unwanted behaviors that sometimes go with it!
